  President Obama signs the Consumer Review Fairness Act into law - The statute prevents companies from punishing customers for poor reviews.

  This is a big win for consumers. There have been a rash of incidents over the past couple of years in which companies attempt to stifle negative user reviews with "gag clauses" that threaten legal action and punitive monetary damages. The Union Street Guest House in Hudson, New York, for example, threatened a wedding party with $500 fines for every bad review the wedding's guests left on Yelp. Now that the President has signed the bill, the FCC and states are empowered to take legal action against companies that don't knock it off.
